The 2014 Mayor’s Arts Awards have been announced and will take place October 7 at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre.
Emily Carr is pleased to announce that this year's recipients include Al McWilliams, Public Art - Honouree ('69), Cedric Bomford, Public Art - Emerging Artist ('03), and Laura Piasta, Visual Arts - Emerging Artist ('06). Al Neil, musician, collage artist, writer and Emily Carr Honorary Doctorate recipient, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Mayor's Arts Awards juries are convened by the Alliance for Arts and Culture. Honourees in the studio and performing arts categories were chosen by juries of their peers, consisting of previous Mayor's Arts Awards recipients.
The selection in each category is made from nominations by individual jurors and solicited from the community at large. Each honouree artist is invited to select an emerging artist in their discipline who demonstrates the promise of the next generation, and all receive a cash award.
